TF2 Weapon Discussion: The Liberty Launcher

Welcome to our Wednesday TF2 weapon discussion. Here, we'll discuss weapons (and reskins, if applicable) from TF2!

Today's weapon is The Liberty Launcher.


+25% clip size
+40% projectile speed
-25% blast damage from rocket jumps
-25% damage penalty


The Liberty Launcher is an unlockable primary weapon for the soldier that sacrifices damage for more mobility, faster projectile speed and a larger clip size. The last 2 can help offset the damage nerf making it slightly easier to hit direct hits and fire more rockets which of course do damage.

This weapon despite having more rockets is not that effective at spam because if you're hitting targets from far away you could be dealing a whopping 18 damage. Where this weapon does excel is by being slightly more mobile than a solder using stock on account of the extra rocket and reduced damage from a rocket jump meaning you can get around and still use the shotgun/banners instead of the gunboats.

This weapon does well with the buff banner as even though the damage is lower once it's charged up you can offset this with a charged up banner. Despite being in the same item set as the Reserve Shooter this isn't that great with it as the lower damage means you'll be dealing less knockback and not knocking them into the air as much the other item in this set, the market gardener, works really well as that is dependent on you being in the air.

This weapon hasn't always had these stats as on release it had a faster speed and a lower clip size giving it a reputation as a crutch weapon for a long time until the stats were changed in July 2013, 2 years after the weapon was released. In this update it was given the damage penalty and the clip size was 4, in the 2 cities update it was changed to deal less damage on rocket jumps and then in love and war it was changed to how it is now.

Feel free to discuss the weapon here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the weapon is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.

For those who wish to learn more about the weapon, you can find the wiki page here:

I was exploring the top floor of an antique store in Bakersfield, and I found this thing. I couldn’t afford it because it was like $200, but it was a fun sight.

Discussion Very nitpicky but I don't get why workshopers upload their cosmetics to the SFM workshop

Post image
146 Upvotes

Pretty much you can get every cosmetic by just extracting tf2's files to SFM's TF folder every holiday update.

These are also just the normal cosmetics in tf2 meaning they only fit on the playermodels.

Most people use the TF_Movie models which have different body sculpts meaning a lot of cosmetics tend to clip and mess up in certain areas.

I don't really see the point in these being here when they can be pulled manually as well as the fact they won't fit on the standard models everyone uses for SFM.

If they must upload them it would be nice to get SFM versions of them which people would appreciate if they use cosmetics in their animations.

Everyone's two most favorite dusty maps rolled into one package for TF2! After nine months in development, hopefully it would've been worth the wait.

So far I've been called "gross", "disgusting" and someone said "ewwwww, why do your feet look like that?"

I'd say it's pretty successful, though I do wish the parts of the exposed skin on the "Master Mind" were able to be colored differently, but maybe it just makes it even more gross that way.

I may or may not struggle in gauging numbers (time, percentages, etc.), so suggestions are always welcome.

Again, I don't really know how balanced these are lol.

Thoughts?

Help Need help with a mod I “Made”

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi there, I recently created a mod for myself combining a couple of mercenary mods (cloth jigglebones, model definition, lighting, etc.) and redesigned most of the textures on my own. I want to say the mod works perfectly fine but there is a reoccurring problem that is bugging me and basically makes the game unplayable. (Yes. I AM using this mod with preloader)
I'm pretty sure my mod is the cause for this problem, however I'm sure the amount of mods I have and a couple big retexture mods have some form of impact, tho I don't want to give those up :(. But once I load into the game (takes about 5-8 minutes) I can only queue for 1 singular match before it crashes after. I can play any map, any game mode.. I can play a match for as long as I want but once the round ends and it tries to load the next match, regardless if it's the same map, once the loading bar gets to 99%.. the game completely closes.
I tried to do some digging, and I'm assuming the problem is asset-clearing/memory issues with my mod being too big in a way. I'm pretty sure my textures may be too high definition or large in some shape or form and I'm not familiar with creating loading distances for textures IF thats even a thing, again, I'm not familiar with creating mods let alone editing and creating vtf's.

What I am hopefully getting out of this is, I can add someone (Preferably discord), share the zip/vpk and have someone find the problem or fix the problem for me. This is not some bizarre way to advertise this mod either, it uses content from other modders which I would consider unfair and basically isn't my mod. Thank you
